SECTION 2
CODIFICATION OF HAZARD STATEMENTS A2.2.1 Introduction A2.2.1.1 Hazard statement means a statement assigned to a hazard class and category that describes the nature of the hazards of a hazardous product, including, where appropriate, the degree of hazard. A2.2.1.2 This section contains the recommended codes assigned to each of the hazard statements applicable to the hazard categories under the GHS. A2.2.1.3 The hazard statement codes are intended to be used for reference purposes. They are not part of the hazard statement text and should not be used to replace it. A2.2.2 Codification of hazard statements A2.2.2.1 Hazard statements are assigned a unique alphanumerical code which consists of one letter and three numbers, as follows:
(a) the letter “H” (for “hazard statement”);
(b) a number designating the type of hazard to which the hazard statement is assigned according to the numbering of the different parts of the GHS, as follows:
− “2” for physical hazards; − “3” for health hazards: − “4” for environmental hazards;
(c) two numbers corresponding to the sequential numbering of hazards arising from
the intrinsic properties of the substance or mixture, such as explosivity (codes from 200 to 210), flammability (codes from 220 to 230), etc.
A2.2.2.2 The codes to be used for designating hazard statements are listed, in numerical order, in Table A2.2.1 for physical hazards, Table A2.2.2 for health hazards and Table A2.2.3 for environmental hazards. Each table is divided into 4 columns containing the following information:
Column (1) The hazard statement code;
Column (2) The hazard statement text;
The text in bold should appear on the label, except as otherwise specified. The information in italics should also appear as part of the hazard statement when the information is known.
ST/SG/AC.10/C.4/2006/20/Add.1 page 50
For example: “causes damages to organs (or state all organs affected, if known) through prolonged or repeated exposure (state route of exposure if it is conclusively proven that no other routes of exposure cause the hazard)”.
Column (3) Hazard class, with a reference to the chapter of the GHS where information about
the hazard class may be found.
Column (4) The hazard category or categories within a hazard class for which the use of a hazard statement is applicable.

Annex 2
SECTION 3
CODIFICATION AND USE OF PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS A2.3.1 Introduction A2.3.1.1 A Precautionary statement is a phrase (and/or pictogram) which describes recommended measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposures to a hazardous product, or improper storage or handling of a hazardous product (para 1.4.10.5.2(c)). A2.3.1.2 Precautionary statements have not yet been fully harmonized1. This section provides recommendations and guidance on the use and codification of precautionary statements consistent with the GHS, including advice on the selection of appropriate statements for each GHS hazard class and category. A2.3.1.3 The starting point for assigning precautionary statements is the hazard classification of the chemical product. The system of classifying hazards in the GHS is based on the intrinsic properties of the chemicals involved (see 1.3.2.2.1). In some systems, however, labelling may not be required for chronic hazards on consumer product labels, if information shows that the respective risks can be excluded under conditions of normal handling, normal use or foreseeable misuse (see Annex 5). If certain hazard statements are not required then the corresponding precautionary statements are also not necessary (see A5.1.1). A2.3.1.4 The guidance for assigning the precautionary statements in this section has been developed to provide the essential minimum precautionary statements linking them with relevant GHS hazard classification criteria and type of hazard. Existing precautionary statements have been used to the maximum extent as the basis for the development of this section. These existing systems have included the IPCS International Chemical Safety Card (ICSC) Compilers Guide, the American National Standards (ANSI Z129.1), the EU classification and labelling directives, the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG 2004), and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Pesticide Label Review Manual. A2.3.1.5 The goal of this section is to promote a more consistent use of precautionary statements. Their use will reinforce safe handling procedures and will enable the key concepts and approaches to be emphasized in training and education activities, while their codification will facilitate their translation and computerization. A2.3.1.6 This section should be seen as a living document and therefore subject to further refinement and development over time. The basic concepts of this section and the philosophy given below will remain.
A2.3.1.7 For the purposes of this section, there are five types of precautionary statements: general, prevention, response (in case of accidental spillage or exposure, emergency response and first aid), storage and disposal.
1 See 1.4.6.2. Additional work to achieve greater standardization in this area may be undertaken in the future,
once countries have gained greater experience with the system.
ST/SG/AC.10/C.4/2006/20/Add.1 page 58
A2.3.2 Codification of precautionary statements A2.3.2.1 Precautionary statements are assigned a unique alphanumerical code which consists of one letter and three numbers as follows:
(a) a letter “P” (for “precautionary statement”)
(b) one number designating the type of precautionary statement as follows:
– “1” for general precautionary statements; – “2” for prevention precautionary statements; – “3” for response precautionary statements; – “4” for storage precautionary statements; – “5” for disposal precautionary statements;
(c) two numbers (corresponding to the sequential numbering of precautionary
statements). A2.3.2.2 The precautionary statement codes are intended to be used for reference purposes. They are not part of the precautionary statement text and should not be used to replace it. A2.3.2.3 The recommended codes to be used for designating precautionary statements are listed, in numerical order, in Table A2.3.1 for general precautionary statements, Table A2.3.2 for prevention precautionary statements, Table A2.3.3 for response precautionary statements, Table A2.3.4 for storage precautionary statements and Table A2.3.5 for disposal precautionary statements. A2.3.3 Structure of the precautionary statement codification tables A2.3.3.1 Each table is divided into 5 columns containing the following information:
Column (1) The precautionary statement code; Column (2) The precautionary statement text; Column (3) The hazard class and the route of exposure, where relevant, for which the
use of a precautionary statement is recommended together with a reference to the chapter of the GHS where information about the hazard class may be found.
Column (4) The hazard category or categories within a hazard class for which the use
of a precautionary statement is applicable. Column (5) Where applicable, conditions relating to the use of a precautionary
statement. A2.3.3.2 The tables show the core part of the precautionary statements in bold print in column (2). This is the text, except as otherwise specified, that should appear on the label. However it is not necessary to insist on identical sets of words in all situations. Derogations from the recommended
ST/SG/AC.10/C.4/2006/20/Add.1 page 59
labelling statements are at the discretion of competent authorities. In all cases, clear plain language is essential to convey information on precautionary behaviour. A2.3.3.3 When a backslash or diagonal mark [/] appears in a precautionary statement text in column (2), it indicates that a choice has to be made between the phrases they separate. For example in P280 “Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection” could read “Wear eye protection". In such cases, the manufacturer or supplier can choose, or the competent authorities may prescribe the most appropriate phrase(s). A2.3.3.4 When three full stops […] appears in a precautionary statement text in column (2), they indicate that all applicable conditions are not listed. For example in P241 “Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/.../equipment.”, the use of “...” indicates that other equipment may need to be specified. Further details of the information to be provided may be found in column (5). In such cases the manufacturer or supplier can choose, or the competent authorities may prescribe the other conditions to be specified. A2.3.3.5 In cases where additional information is required or information has to be specified, this is indicated by a relevant entry in column (5) in plain text. A2.3.3.6 When text in italics is used in column (5), this indicates specific conditions applying to the use or allocation of the precautionary statement. This may relate to conditions attaching to either the general use of a precautionary statement or its use for a particular hazard class and/or hazard category. For example, for P241 “Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/.../equipment”, only applies for flammable solids “if dust clouds can occur”. A2.3.3.7 To facilitate translation into the languages of users, precautionary statements have been broken down into individual sentences in the tables in this section. In a number of instances the text that appears on a GHS label requires that these be added back together. This is indicated in this annex by codes conjoined with a plus sign [+]. For example P305 + P351 + P338 indicates that the text to appear on the label is “IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing”. These additive precautionary statements can also be found at the end of each of the precautionary statement tables in this section. Translation of only the single precautionary statements is required, as this will enable the compilation of the additive precautionary statements. A2.3.4 Allocation of precautionary statements A2.3.4.1 This section guides the selection of appropriate precautionary statements. It includes elements for all categories of precautionary action. All specific elements relating to particular hazard classes should be used. General elements not linked in particular to a certain hazard class or category should also be used where relevant. A2.3.4.2 To provide flexibility in the application of precautionary statements, a combination of statements is encouraged to save label space and improve their readability. Combination of phrases can also be useful for different types of hazard where the precautionary behaviour is similar. For example: "Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame and store in a cool well ventilated place". A2.3.4.3 Precautionary statements should appear on GHS-consistent labels along with the GHS-harmonized hazard communication elements (pictograms, signal words and hazard statements). Additional supplemental information, such as directions for use, may also be provided at the discretion of
ST/SG/AC.10/C.4/2006/20/Add.1 page 60
the manufacturer/supplier and/or competent authority (see Chapter 1.2 and Chapter 1.4, sub-section 1.4.6.3). For some specific chemicals, supplementary first aid, treatment measures or specific antidotes or cleansing materials may be required. Poisons Centres and/or medical practitioners or specialist advice should be sought in such situations and included on labels. A2.3.4.4 In the majority of cases, the recommended precautionary statements are independent, e.g. the phrases for explosive hazard do not modify those related to certain health hazards and products that are classified for both hazard classes should bear appropriate precautionary statements for both. A2.3.4.5 Where a substance or mixture is classified for a number of health hazards, generally the most stringent set of precautionary statements should be selected. This applies mainly for the preventive measures. With respect to phrases concerning "Response", rapid action may be crucial. For example, if a chemical is carcinogenic and acutely toxic then the first aid measures for acute toxicity will take precedence over those for longer term effects. In addition, medical attention to delayed health effects may be required in cases of incidental exposure, even if not associated with immediate symptoms of intoxication. A2.3.4.6 To protect people with different reading abilities, it might be useful to include both precautionary pictograms and precautionary statements in order to convey information in more than one way (see 1.4.4.1 (a)). It should be noted, however, that the protective effect of pictograms is limited and the examples (see A2.4.1) do not cover all precautionary aspects to be addressed. While pictograms can be useful, they can be misinterpreted and are not a substitute for training. A2.3.5 General precautionary measures A2.3.5.1 General precautionary measures should be adopted for all substances and mixtures which are classified as hazardous to human health or the environment. To this end, the needs of and the information sources available to three groups of users or applicators should be taken into account: the general public, the commercial user and the industrial worker. A2.3.5.2 The presumed observation of precautionary label information, specific safety guidelines, and the safety data sheet for each product before use are part of the labelling requirements and occupational health and safety procedures. A2.3.5.3 In order to correctly implement precautionary measures concerning prevention, response, storage and disposal, it is also necessary to have information on the composition of products at hand, so that information shown on the container, label and safety data sheet can be taken into account when asking for further specialist advice. A2.3.5.4 The following general precautionary statements on the GHS label are appropriate under the given conditions:
